When you REPLY to an *existing* thread, hit **Reply**.
DO NOT start a new thread with each new post.
That's what I'm doing ... hitting 'reply' then removing all the other stuff
from the digest leaving only the topic I'm referring to.
But surely you then have to change the subject line, otherwise everything will be headed
something like "Re: support-seamonkey Digest, Vol 54, Issue 32".
If I'm doing something wrong you'll have to be clearer in putting me right. The
link you gave specified using 'reply' rather than 'write' or 'compose', but
that's what I am doing - using the 'reply'. Perhaps I am removing something
important in my trimming?
If you're changing the subject line then it becomes a new post even
though you are actually "replying". Either way it's confusing to most.
Huh? Do you mean "thread" where you write "post"? (_Any_ new message is
a new post. Some are new threads; some are not.)
No, changing the subject line does _not_ change the threading (at least
as far as References-aware user agents go). (Recall the usual complaints
about (usually accidental) threat hijacking.)
However, I think I see the cause of the problem here:
Evidentally JeffM is reading logical messages wrapped inside the
digest message (logical). When he replies, his user agent threads
his reply message to the physical message to which he replied--the
digest message (which of course doesn't even appear on the mail
mailing list / newsgroup).
Ideally for the rest of the list (readers), JeffM would read individual
messages, and then his replying would thread normally.
(No, I don't know what to suggest to let JeffM preserve his choice
to subscribe to the digest version but also reply with the list's
preferred threading.)
